DOWNTOWN BEND OCCUPANCY REPORT
Occupancy jumps to 97% as 8 New Businesses Open

The Downtown Bend Business Association announces the occupancy for 3rd quarter of 2015 and new businesses opening. Occupancy in the downtown district rose one percentage point over last quarter to 97%. The occupancy rate is based upon the number of leased street level retail/restaurant spaces in the downtown district.

“Eight new businesses opened this quarter or are planning to open in the coming weeks once renovations are made to the interior of the leased spaces,” says DBBA Executive Director Rod Porsche. “We’re excited to welcome these new businesses to Downtown Bend and our organization will help promote them through marketing, events and other programs.”
